Featured Review on this writing by Spyguy

Being Autistic, it is sometimes hard to have a relationship... there are struggles, that make it hard work.... but sometimes if you find the right person, love can overcome anything.

Meltdowns are never fun
They don't do any good 
They always seem
To freakin hurt someone.
 
I didn't want to feel like this
No, It definitely wasn't planned,
I know it is my fault but
I hope you understand.
 
Being Autistic, 
There will always be these days
and no matter how much I try and stop it
They will never go away.
 
Some days are easy, 
I am able to hold on,
Keep my feelings in check, 
Pretend that they are gone.
 
Other days not so much
I am sorry to say
For this who I am
I hope you will still stay
 
It is hard sometimes 
To figure out what is wrong
For deep inside, I feel like
A Giant game of ping pong
 
Don't have the words to describe
what the fuck I feel,
All I know is
You seem to be getting the raw deal
 
Eventually it will get easier,
I really hope it fuckin does
Maybe then you will 
Forgive me, maybe just because.
 
I know it doesn't help any
On the days that you are stressed,
For both of us hurting,
It really does become one huge mess
 
Give us both time, 
I know we can be strong
Your the one I want to be with
There is no where else I belong
 
You make me happy, 
When no one else ever could
Just seeing your smiles
They make me feel way too good.
